This morning was big bertha, our hills circuit at Centenial Park. We usually do 10 laps, but Sean let those of us doing Nowra on Saturday do 6 laps.... very nice :-) We warmed up and did the usual strides and drills~ Sean added a new drill which I was a bit directionally challenged! We started off up the hill and before I knew it 6 laps were over. I felt stronger than 2 weeks ago when we did the same session. It took me 14:05 mins for 6 laps two weeks ago, today 13:35. All good :-) So tommorow will be an easy run and then the 8km cross country at Nowra. Now I have heard this is a tough, horrible course~ so hopefully my expectations are far worse than it actually is. Hopefully I will not be too embarrasingly slow or last... I will just clock up some participation points for Striders.

Today is the first World Elder Abuse Awareness Day and I spent a great day at an elder abuse symposium and am feeling really energised about work. There were great speakers especially the legal eagle from the Guardianship Tribunal. She was a really articulate, powerful speaker! I would love to combine my social work with law and get involved in the Guardianship Tribunal or The Office of the Public Guardian and advocate for the really vulnerable members of our community. Hmmmm that would involve some hard study, but still a thought!
